Ode to Valentine’s Day
by Craig McAnally
That wondrous day has come again,
What a magic time of year!
Chocolate! Flowers! Love abound!
But my schedule’s fairly clear.
Another year that Cupid missed,
That big target on my back.
Why won’t that little flying fucker,
Cut me a single ounce of slack?
Through the year I smile and flirt,
Sometimes I’ll even show some leg.
But rarely ever do I ever,
Fit the circle with the peg.
Please, oh please, don’t get me wrong,
There’s more to life than getting laid.
But sex is like a marching band,
And life’s raining on my parade.
Why can’t my Tarzan, take a swing,
On a vine and save this dork?
But vines are hard to come by,
When you’re living in New York.
Deep inside I really don’t mind,
Being alone on this crappy day.
I know one day I’ll find my love,
And grow boring, old, and even gray.
So, dear reader, if you’re like me,
Please don’t ever fret!
Know deep down inside your heart,
You’re the greatest soul you’ve ever met.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’m celebrating Valentine’s Day with a new header featuring some of my favorite TV couples! I was just going to keep it up for the day, but I really like it, so I’ll keep it up through the weekend. Maybe I can set up one of those fancy rotating header things to switch things up every time you visit! That would be fun!
And then of course there is this, courtesy of my new best friends over at 360 - The Math Blog:
